I recently purchased a set of TP-Link Deco P9's as a means of providing extended Wi-Fi connectivity throughout my home.

However, the P9 (and it seems most Deco kit) is simply a router, with no modem funcationality.

I'm very unhappy with the supplied BT Smart Hhub provided by a leading UK ISP. Infact, i'm not a fan of IP supplied modem-routers as theyre often very limited in functionality and configurability.

I'm considering perhaps buying a TP-Link VDSL Wi-Fi router to replace the BT Smart Hub, but I have a question in relation to "integration" workability with Deco units. Is there any thing to take into consideration? If needed, i'd obviously most likely disable the Wi-Fi on the modem-router in favour of the Deco, but again i'm thinking there might be some integration functionality between two TP-link systems?

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
